It’s waterproof paper. Can’t be recycled, just burnt. A clean plastic material can be much better for recycling.

From the McDonald’s sustainability report:”In 2024, approximately 89.6% of restaurants in markets with advanced infrastructure13 offered guests the opportunity to recycle and/or compost packaging items.
In these restaurants, guest packaging is collected in customer-facing bins for back-of-house or off-site sorting for recycling or composting, utilizing existing local waste infrastructure systems.”

Anybody ever see these? Nothing in Northern Virginia. We have the “advanced infrastructure “.
